The Impossible Will Occur In Kingdom Hearts 3D

Kingdom Hearts Re:coded has a secret ending that ties into Kingdom Hearts 3D. You can check that out here (spoilers, naturally). While Kingdom Hearts 3D isn’t “Kingdom Hearts 3,” the story will be on par with a mainline Kingdom Hearts game.

These comments come from Tetsuya Nomura, who recently spoke with Nintendo Power magazine about both Re:coded and Kingdom Hearts 3D. According to Nomura, the development team is still deciding upon which worlds to include in Kingdom Hearts 3D.

Nomura adds that there “may be a major overhaul in the selection of Disney worlds,” possibly referring to the kind of worlds chosen for the game. He goes on to reiterate what he has stated before — that nearly every Disney locale in Kingdom Hearts 3D will be entirely new.

At this past year’s E3, Square Enix showed off a Kingdom Hearts 3D trailer that depicted the sky raining Soras. Nomura clarified that this was done to communicate the idea that the impossible would occur in Kingdom Hearts 3D. (Impossible even by Kingdom Hearts standards? Oh dear.)

Kingdom Hearts 3D is being developed by the Square Enix team in Osaka that worked on Kingdom Hearts: Birth by Sleep. Expect more details from Square Enix’s 1st Production Department conference on January 18th.

You don’t really have to get it. There’s a DS emulator that works perfectly. Unless it’s absolutely vital for you to be able to play multiplayer in a game that isn’t a multiplayer game, then I suggest you just emulate it. :P

I don’t really understand what you’re referring to with that facepalm. I suggested an alternative method in which he could play re:coded because stated that he didn’t want to buy it. If he stated that he didn’t want to play it then I wouldn’t have bothered. Would you care to elaborate?

The story wont be like Kingdom Hearts 1, the fact that it has all new Disney worlds is a clear sign of that. It probably wont even be close to the originals story.

He was saying Re:Coded was like KH1, not KH3D. Re:Coded has all repeated worlds, actually.

But the story is different, I suppose. I don’t know if I’ll be snagging that one myself, honestly. I spoiled myself with the “secret talk” and now I don’t feel like there’s much else to the game otherwise. $35 is a little high of price for me for that kind of a feeling towards the game.

Re:Coded is actually the current KH game I feel most warmly too, right now. I didn’t really get on with BbS.

Re:Coded feels like a return to simpler times without being entirely nostalgic in that it has a framework of events following the sequel. The additional trading of information between systems in the Dissidia/DQIX fashion also makes the game that much more appealing in my book.

I haven’t read any spoilers and don’t intend to but I’m hoping for Re:Coded to deliver on nostalgia in terms of the original KH storyline and other genres (“Space Harrier” third person shooting, RPG turn-based battles).

3DS by contrast seems like a very different kettle of fish.

Having played Re:Coded a bit, I will say I did greatly underestimate it. There is a lot more to that game than I gave it credit for, and in my eyes it’s just as much an important game as Chain of Memories was. I’m quite glad to be proved wrong <3.

Anyway, Im still continually annoyed that we are not getting KH3 and yet another game with a story “on par with a mainline game.” At least throw out a subtitle for the game, or something dude. Heh, call if Kingdom Hearts 3 and then say that a Kingdom Hearts 4 will be planned.

Well, I’ll be getting Kingdom Hearts Re:coded anyway. But since I’m too much of a wuss to complete the game on Proud mode or I can’t be bothered to get 100 per cent completion, I’ll check out the secret ending trailer when i’ve completed the game on Normal.

You know for me, the “impossible” will be making me find a reason to even care about this series anymore…

I am SO SICK of the KH team adding Secret Ending after Secret Ending in these ^&5#64##$ GAMES!!! DX

They know delusional KH fans will buy it and they continue to do it! JUST WORK ON KH3 ALREADY OR FINISH FFvXIII and then focus on KH and stop with these spin offs and ‘Final Mixes’ (a.k.a “Let’s suck more money out of the fans! :D”) that further make the story already complicated. By the time KH3 is out, (whenever that is) half the fans will have no clue what is going on. The only one that made sense and was good is BBS. Stop it already.

Why work on KH3 when it is as you say, the delusional KH fan will continue to buy these side games, better keep the series going for as long as possible since people are not going to stop buying them…especially since the games come with “secret endings,” and people arent keen on watching them on the youtube. Plus I thought we cant get the third one until FFVersus XIII comes out and FF 15 starts development?

-which is likely, didnt they pour tons of money into the engine for FFXIII? Better use it for all its worth this gen…

that’s why they keep making them sucking the money out of fans while they can.

Also, yeah that’s why I said finish FFvXIII and then work on KH3.

The story is so convoluted right now. Each spin off decreases my love for KH. :/

Why do I suddenly fear that this means Nomura is going to pull a Deus Ex Machina to shoehorn something into the story without needing to respect everything that he has built up from the first game. I’ve been dreading this ever since he said that Sora and Riku being children again is *very* important.

I don’t mind these “spin-offs” and I do like Kingdom Hearts, but I hate when a creator shoehorns something into their story. Shows a lack of talent and respect for their audience (like we won’t notice it’s forced).

Ah, whatever. I guess I should withhold judgment until I know more, but these comments are really worrisome. :(
